Locals question fate of Bay Ridge Community Council
After the Bay Ridge Community Council cancelled its annual Presidents Luncheon, a tradition for decades, some have begun speculating that the organization is on its way out.
The group that once had upwards of 110 member organizations is down to 80, sources say, and officers have acknowledged that it is financially strapped – the main reason, they say, that the lunch, which the BRCC pays for, was scrapped.
“We are not having the Presidents Lunch due to financial difficulties,” said First Vice President Mary Ann Walsh. The next big event, the dinner dance held each year in June, is still planned to take place, she said.
